My desk friend and his lap companion helped my muse out this morning. I still haven’t discovered their names. Ideas welcome: Skelly and Skelt or Skellor and Pint or your suggestions? #amwriting #SFF #names #writingcommunity (at Camp Hill, Pennsylvania) https://www.instagram.com/p/CpuzxquuRjN/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

A bit of my AI generated art inspired after my previous novel Embers currently in the #querying trenches. What do you all think of AI art to inspire your writing? #writer #writingcommunity #writersofinstagram #query https://www.instagram.com/p/ClXOzmxNqwr/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Finished six months of writing everyday at 5AM except for my wife’s 40th birthday. The early morning rise was the trick for me. How do you all keep writing? #writingcommunity #writers #writing #writersofinstagram https://www.instagram.com/p/CfmCIAeg11N/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

My local bookstore @midtownscholar has released the thrilling book Plague Birds by @jasonsanfordsf into the wild. An epic read of AI gone wrong and a finalist for multiple awards including the #Nebula should make this a top list for your next #SFF read. https://www.instagram.com/p/CfcazvXAAQ9/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

In the Future Sense

New short story "In the Future Sense" was published with @HarrisburgMag. Thank you so much for giving my work a home. #writingcommunity #amwriting #author

Published: Harrisburg Magazine, 5/6/2022. You assumed too much. The world would be fine without you. In this, you were dreadfully wrong. The stars did not sing your praise. The Earth did not revel in your glory. The seas did not churn in exaltation. None shall know of you, but all shall owe you. It is of the passing of your days that all shall be made true, and light shall once again shine. So,…

Just finished my craft project slash writer business cards. I went for an aged parchment look and brushed charcoal with a touch of black/gold washi tape as an offset trim. I wanted something people could potentially use as a bookmark. Thoughts? (for the record, my wife thinks I'm crazy) https://www.instagram.com/p/CbvSe6nO4CK/?utm_medium=tumblr

Book Review: Plague Birds by Jason Sanford

Plague Birds by Jason Sanford rivets with a high-impact tale of blood-infused AI, gene editing gone awry, and a future where humanity struggles to reclaim itself. @jasonsanford #SFF @ApexBookCompany #debutauthor #debut #readingcommunity

Plague Birds by Jason Sanford rivets with a high-impact tale of blood-infused AI, gene editing gone awry, and a future where humanity struggles to reclaim itself. I have to say, I was engaged throughout, but emotionally and intellectually. The concept of AI governing our world in which humanity lost its ability to govern itself kept me intrigued.

Sometimes we must fold ourselves up in the familiar fabric of sounds such that those words, so close, invariable unfold the hidden truth in ourselves. https://www.instagram.com/p/CNzmhioAFuY/?igshid=10qps7kkjppyr

This is the focusing crystal (selenite) on my writing desk. I love the way it splinters and retracted sunlight. There is something simply brilliant and almost magical about objects that bend the will of light. What on your desk helps fuel your creativity? #writingcommunity #writersofinsta #writersofinstagram https://www.instagram.com/p/CMQLd4tgkIy/?igshid=1sztsktwiqiy6

Started daily planning my writing/personal/work goals. Between homeschooling my 8-yr-old, teaching college, helping around the house, and attempting to transition to a full-time author, a writing-focused planner has been key. Thank you to @shamrock_stickers and @erw_plans for some awesome author-oriented stickers. Any suggestions for how else I can tweak it to emphasize writing? @passionplannerdaily #pashfam #passionplanner #writersofinsta #writingcommunity #writersofinstagram https://www.instagram.com/p/CMNS-i1gwqN/?igshid=15pwjbnpmnbb1

Welcome the new addition to my writing desk compliments of my son Cedric. Love that kid. Any idea what I should name this little critter? https://www.instagram.com/p/CFrb8GGA5_x/?igshid=1tymh2g6wkmx6

This antique knife is the most recent addition to my writing inspiration wall. I like to collect antique knives, art, and anything geek. For the record, I have no idea of the knife's origin. What do you collect that inspired your art? #writinginspiration #writingcommunity #writing #writersofinsta #writersofinstagram https://www.instagram.com/p/CErc6wTgpd9/?igshid=1u34xsuy6sonn

Art should inspire art. Music feeds my writing, helping jolt life into my words. https://www.instagram.com/p/CERpJqzgRcY/?igshid=1iyvoy9ugu2zi
